Re: Does ketosis cause AD?

What does RCTs represent? I am new to this forum and haven't learned all the acronyms and APOE 4 lingo. Are you aware of the wiki list of abbreviations and acronyms? https://www.apoe4.info/wiki/Abbreviations_and_acronyms#Abbreviations_and_Acronyms I open a second tab to call up the ApoE4.info websi...

Re: Does ketosis cause AD?

Are we suppose to always be spilling ketones 24-7? No. I forget who the speaker was, there were so many of them over the weekend, but I remember one said that the brain can't run on ketones all the time. The good new is that while the brain's glucose metabolism can become impaired, ketone metabolis...

I think we decided for George, he is a very energetic, highly curious monkey.

Can I correct you slightly? I'd say it's important to keep the brain healthy so that it can use glucose. Just feeding glucose will do no good if the brain is swimming in glucose but can't use it.

Re: Does ketosis cause AD?

o I have this right? The brain relies on glucose, doesn't have reserves, and needs a steady supply. Those fasting or eating a low carb diet use up their glycogen and use the keytone bodies for fuel (from fat). It is my understanding that fatty-acid eating is associated with the development of ALZ, ...

Re: Media Coverage of our Meet-up

If she wants one on one time, since I attended Low Carb Breck, I've seen some of these speakers before and the title of the talk in SD is the same as what I saw in Breck, so I would be willing to not attend one of those sessions. Hubby is probably in that same category.

Re: Media Coverage of our Meet-up

I think it’s very important to spread the word and inviting a media representative in is a good way to accomplish this. I think the main concern is the same as last year, we want the presence to be unobtrusive. Most of us are traveling, i.e. spending a fair amount of money for this, so it’s importan...

Re: How Nutrition Can Reverse Disease and the Impact of Lectins – Dr. Steven Gundry (Bulletproof Radio)

Theresa, a question to you: would you like to join me in encouraging Dr. Gundry to set up a small trial, to be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal? His approach seems cool and I'd happily submit myself as a subject. I'd also happily submit myself as a subject., but..... I don't think he is interes...

Re: How Nutrition Can Reverse Disease and the Impact of Lectins – Dr. Steven Gundry (Bulletproof Radio)

That's the placebo effect. Which is exactly why I like Dr Gundry. I felt fine before my first consult, we sought him out because of ApoE4/family history status. For 17 years Dr Gundry has been taking regular blood tests on his patients and advising, observing, tweaking accordingly. My first blood t...
